>>Amazingly, this one seems to be universal across many languages. We use verb "kakiti" to describe what toddlers do when they sit on the potty. And I've heard that Peruvians say "Titicaca lake is split so that we get the titi, and our neighbors get the caca".

>That lake name (as well as our own Lake Nipissing) always *got* me esp. when I was young... you know, when all the kids love to hear the "bad" words inside words that are societally acceptable like:
>-the Japanese name Take$hita (move the letters around and you have a whole sentence)
>-the Shih Tzu dog (breed *that* with a bulldog!)
>-I love going to a Tai restaurant and ordering a Phuket coffee.
>-pianist
>-the titular list goes on and on...

My favorite French words: Phoque - which is the aquatic mammal seal and piscine - swimming pool. What would happen if a seal went amok in the swimming pool?
